- It is Great
I bought another company's Net Camera but it was not easy to setup. Then I read the reviews for this camera and figured I would give it a try. It was very EASY to set-up. I was watching my house on the internet in 15 minutes. I like it so much I am buying another for the back door.

- Great camera for the price, but helps to be technical
Hunting for a networked camera to use to check on our cats, this one turned out to be a good balance of cost and performance.

Initial setup was a breeze and the camera was quickly up and running. Hooking into the free web service to allow us to view from any internet connection wasn't as easy. Taking the Microft-ian approach, if the hardware plays well with your software, things work smoothly and you're ready to go. If it DOESN'T, you're on your own.

I admit I did NOT call for tech support, choosing to try things out myself first.

First, I'm not great at networking or the terminology used. The manual tells you to set up your router for IP Forwarding on the port you use. Not familiar with what exactly IP Forwarding means, I simply opened the port on my router for this device, and that seems to have done it.

Since the automatic account creation for the free account failed as well, it was only by accident that I discovered that this could be accessed via the 'Dynamic DNS' option on the Setup tab (hope this saves someone some time).

So, after all was done, I'm now able to keep an eye on the cats (and watch them dance across the table they're not supposed to be on), and with a clearance Powerline ethernet system, can set up the camera anywhere I can find a pair of power outlets.

And, perhaps the greatest indicator of my satisfaction: a second camera is on the way to me.

- Day good, Night So So...
I picked this up new but clearance at office depot for $24, plugged into my router, setup the software, enabled upnp as directed but still get failure messages when trying to view thru the web, customer service is clueless, no email response either.

The recording feature works and I can view the cam (just not remotely thru the net yet) daytime shots are pretty decent, the zoom pixels things up but overall gives a nice front parking area view of my home. Night time is well, so so, you can see but its pretty grainy even zoomed out to full picture.

Certainly worth the $24 I paid, have gone thru the books and searched google still cant get that upnp error to go away (and i do have upnp enabled on router).

If you need this for a place that has lighting go for it, check office depots too since i scored this one for $24 recently there.

- Nice quality for price
I'm using the BLC-1A as part of my home security system. I first bought the D-link dsc-900. The Panasonic has a higher quality feel to it when holding it in your hand. The picture quality is quite a bit better as well. Setup was simply and worked well on both my mac and xp box. I will be ordering 4 more.
